Modern object detection and instance segmentation networks stumble when picking out humans in crowded or highly occluded scenes. Yet, these are often scenarios where we require our detectors to work well. Many works have approached this…
Unconstrained handwritten text recognition remains challenging for computer vision systems. Paragraph text recognition is traditionally achieved by two models: the first one for line segmentation and the second one for text line…
Face parsing infers a pixel-wise label to each facial component, which has drawn much attention recently. Previous methods have shown their success in face parsing, which however overlook the correlation among facial components. As a matter…

Image segmentation is an essential component in many image processing and computer vision tasks. The primary goal of image segmentation is to simplify an image for easier analysis, and there are two broad approaches for achieving this: edge…
Neural net classifiers trained on data with annotated class labels can also capture apparent visual similarity among categories without being directed to do so. We study whether this observation can be extended beyond the conventional…
Region anchors are the cornerstone of modern object detection techniques. State-of-the-art detectors mostly rely on a dense anchoring scheme, where anchors are sampled uniformly over the spatial domain with a predefined set of scales and…
